AU Character Information
Character: Jon Snow, youngblood Starting Court: Black AU Name: n/a AU Age: 20 + 20! AU History: - The bastard son of a town mayor. Had some training in combat and hunting. Went willingly in a Finding when he was 20, happy that his younger half-siblings were spared. - Excelled at court basics. It was thought he'd probably be in Gold or possibly Red, but he surprised everyone by choosing Black when it was offered by an older vampire from that court named George Mormont. - Had a relatively brief affair with a Blue Court youngblood named Yvette a few years after he became a vampire. Some time after it ran its course, Black had to hunt her. Jon's maker, who had explicitly instructed Jon to stay out of it, was killed bringing Yvette down. She was also killed. - Jon has been relatively aloof since then (grief!) and has taken whatever chances he can to be away from the castle, but he is starting to participate more again. - If you're canon-familiar: yeah, Yvette was just Vampire Ygritte, the tragic dead ex-girlfriend. George Mormont was sort of a younger-seeming vampire version of Jeor Mormont, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch when Jon joined it.
General Personality: In canon, Jon is a morally good, service-minded person with a kindly nature who overcomes a lot of stigma and self-doubt to eventually avenge the murder of his family, become a king, save the world -- and have it all fall apart when he learns that he's the hereditary heir to the titular throne and that people want to set him against the love of his life. He has a lot of humility, and he finds a lot of his self-worth in his willingness to die to help and protect other people.
Here? He's about as morally good and similar to canon as a vampire can be. He manipulates people as little as possible; while he drinks enough from thralls to keep up his strength, he does not utilize them otherwise (well, he probably doesn't object to them doing his laundry). He is also pretty dedicated to his work protecting other vampires. Over time, people who think about it will likely notice that he is kind of careless with his own life. He is also more ascetic than some: he doesn't have the same level of hangups about sex that canon Jon famously does, but he does seem to think his body should be used more for protecting and fighting than for having a good time.
For characters who have gotten to know him, he most likely seems sober, kind, and trustworthy, but to some, he might seem like a bit of a dour stick-in-the-mud.
Pre-existing & Desired CR
Upcoming Plans: Jon can teach Black Court basics! He's a supportive, no-nonsense teacher. I don't have super deep plans apart from him getting to know people and, you know, eventually having him slowly learn about his bad, bad canon ending in an emotionally wrenching way. Pre-existing CR: I think we talked about this on the AU workshop a bit: are we still going with those? (I'll assume so, but do we want to discuss it in more detail?) What about ones we didn't discuss? Definitely interested in hashing out Black Court stuff (how do our characters get along?)! Other stuff too: other 20 year youngbloods may have some history with him from back when they were novices, and he may have been an instructor for those a little younger than that. What happened? Let's figure it out! Desired CR: Most things that aren't "dedicated life-ruiner" are fine! While I am not really looking for ships apart from Dany, flirtatious friendships are cool, as is some kind of past flirting history. Maybe your character had strong opinions about Jon's court choice or romance with Yvette back when they happened.
